Zusammenfassung:A method of 3D printing an item, wherein a spray material comprising a powder entrained in an oxygen comprising carrier gas is emitted from a spray nozzle 8. The nozzle 8 comprises a constricted throat 11 that has a thermal conductivity of at least 10 W/mk and a hardness of at least 10 Rockwell C (HRC). The temperature of the throat does not exceed 250° C., and preferably does not exceed 200° C.
